I used XPS laptops with Ubuntu for years and thought they were great. The last one I got, though, at the last place I worked, had that weird, 'seamless trackpad' or whatever they call it. I couldn't stand the thing. I much prefer the basic trackpad on the $250 Chromebook I use for personal email/browsing these days.
- kube-system 9mo agoIs the entire area under the keyboard a trackpad or do you have to just guess where the edges are?
- rationalist 9mo agoOn the previous one that OP is talking about, you had to guess. On the new ones just announced, there are physical and visible lines.
- davidw 9mo agoIt was a maddening guessing game, where occasionally - but not always - the edge of my lower thumb would touch the track pad and send the mouse pointer warping off to some other part of the screen while I was typing.
- lights0123 9mo agoIt is slightly wider than the space bar. I've never had an issue with mine, as it is located exactly where I expect it to be.
- lostlogin 9mo agoMacBook trackpads are their single best feature. Even 10 year old ones seem to be better than everything else out there.
